Used with nested <fileset> element(s),specifies a destination directory for the formatted documents. For each file in the set, target file name is created by appending its relative path (as specified in <fileset>) to this directory, and changing file extension to match the selected output format. By default, the formatted documents are stored in the sources' directories.

No

overwrite

True or False. When "true", the task reformats all documents on each invocation. When "false", the documents are only overwritten if either the source or the stylesheet are newer than the output.

If the stylesheet is not local, there is no reliable way to determine its modification date. Such stylesheets are treated as if they are never modified.

By default, all documents are reformatted.

No

style

XSLT stylesheet is to apply to source XML documents, either a pathname or a URL. If it is not available, input files are assumed to be XSL FO (XSLFO) documents.

No

format

Output format. Possible values:PDF, PostScript, XEP.

Important

Format identifiers are case-sensitive!

Yes

XEP Ant Task can be applied:

to a single file, specified by in attribute;

to a batch of files, selected using nested <fileset> elements.

These modes are mutually exclusive: if in attribute is available, the task will process a single file and ignore all nested <fileset> specifiers.

If an XSLT stylesheet is set using style attribute, the task will apply it to all input files. Without a stylesheet, the task will attempt to format the files as though they are XSL FO (XSLFO) documents.

Parameters specified as nested elements

The following nested elements can appear inside of XEP task entry.

classpath

Classpath used to load XEP. The user should set it to match existing XEP installation.
